Recently started my daughter on baby cereal. And it seems she's not digging it! Lol her doc even recommended mixing it with formula and a bit or gerber! (Using a organic version) and she makes faces!! 😂😳😳. Not sure what any other moms did ?? Just need some ideas 💡

Mostly cereal is just to make sure they can swallow properly... my daughter never really enjoyed the cereal either!

My son never liked cereal. I wasn't heartbroken since it's not nutritional. Babies don't need solids. If she doesn't like it I'd just move on to something else.

Do you have a blender or food processor? You could blend it up with just a little bit of banana or berries to make it sweeter.
You could also get an organic sweetener such as stevia or xylitol and mix about a half teaspoon in each serving.
It's probably just the bland taste of the cereal she's not liking. 😛 I wouldn't blame her. That stuff is so icky plain. 😂

@jacesterlingsmommy, what else did you try ? I'm a ftm so I don't know to much about this stuff. And her doctor seems to always rush when she sees us! 🙄 looking for a new one lol

@rhealize it won't upset her tummy ? Yes I have both and I had thought about it lol but I was scared because she's only 5 months. But she sits up alone and is starting to crawl

We went straight to fruits and veggies. I never started one over the other. My son went back and forth between all well. I waited a couple days in between new foods in case of allergy. Now at 9 months he practically refuses purees. He only wants table foods. Even if my son doesn't get solids during the day I'm not worried since solids before 1 are for fun so it's not completely necessary.

Or I have tried mixing baby food fruits in with the cereal instead of formula and that was a little better.

If it's just a small amount she should be just fine. Maybe 1/8th of a banana per half cup of cereal, or a couple small slices if she eats less.
The natural sweeteners shouldn't bother her either. My in-laws would just use regular sugar when they babysat and it didn't bother my boys at all. And the natural ones are easier on the tummy than regular sugar.
Just no honey until she's over a year old. That's really the only thing you'd have to worry about at her age. 😊
